Pits; everyone has them, and they can stink and make your clothes wet.
But worse than the odor is the chemicals used on this delicate place. If
you have been considering a natural deodorant, consider Bar-Maids
Probiotic Deodorant. It is aluminum, paraben, and phthalate free and
currently offered in 2 sizes and two scents. Give your pits a breather!
You could come out smelling like a rose (geranium) – which, by the way,
will be released in January.

the time being.

The Do Some Good contest will start on Friday after
Thanksgiving.
The object of Do Some Good is to do something positive on a local,
national or global level. Something that benefits more than your
immediate family and friends. This year we will try and focus on
supporting social justice organizations.

The Grinch-Along will start December 1st, and this is an instagram and
ravelry thread contest. For this contest, work on anything that brings
you joy and is not 2016 holiday gift knitting. We have amazing prizes,
and bags made by us from this pinterest tutorial.

Entries will be judged on originality and general delightfulness. And obviously, Grinchiness.
